Geothermal
Modelling geothermal systems from shallow to deep
The FEFLOW FH3 modules allow you to model a multitude of different processes involving geothermal applications from shallow to deep geothermal reservoirs. The advanced fluid flow calculation allows you to capture advective processes perturbating the system, fracture flow among others.
Would you like to understand the conflict of existing neighbouring installations? FEFLOW can help you evaluate the results either on vertical, plain, or 3D views. The Heat module supports unlimited modelling of open- and close-loop systems at any geometrical configuration. Boreholes can also be interconnected in array, helping you to optimise energy demands.

FEFLOW piFreeze
Freezing and thawing of groundwater and the unsaturated zone
A plug-in for FEFLOW that extends 2- or 3-dimensional FEFLOW flow and transport models using Richard's equation by phase changes between water and ice.
Advanced Features
3D geometrical handling, advanced meshing and workflow automation
This module offers a collection of several utilities (Geode and PySMH) to support advanced modelling cases. The Geode-FEFLOW toolkit includes (1) the possibility to repair improper geological datasets by identifying the intersection between geometrical surfaces and repairing their connections and (2) the mesh generation of detailed 3D unstructured tetrahedral meshes. FEFLOW PySMH is a Python extension of FEFLOW’s programming interface to create, edit and manipulate FEFLOW Supermesh files. FEFLOW PySMH allows you to streamline geothermal model building directly with Python.
Bonus Modules: piHMC, piMIKE1D
piHMC
This module allows the support of mechanical processes (hydro-mechanical coupling) in FEFLOW subsurface flow calculations. FEFLOW piHMC can represent hydro-mechanical processes in granular porous media, fractured reservoirs and individual fault systems (discrete fracture networks).
piMIKE1D
This module supports the dynamic coupling between FEFLOW and MIKE 1D engines. piMIKE1D works only with MIKE 2022 and FEFLOW 7.5 and is not backward compatible. Previous MIKE releases are limited to the free IFMMIKE11 utility. The current implementation of piMIKE1D is limited to flow simulations only.
